Our guest today is not your typical meditation teacher; he's a bridge between the worlds of hard science and deep spirituality. Meet Dr. Richard Dixey, a senior faculty member at Dharma College in Berkeley, California. With advanced degrees in biophysics and the history of philosophy science, Dr. Dixey formerly directed a bioelectronic research unit in London and served as the CEO of his own biotech company. Now, he dedicates his life to teaching meditation and runs the Light of Buddha Dharma Foundation in India. He's the author of "Three Minutes a Day, a 14-week course to learn meditation and transform your life." Dr. Dixey is on a mission to blend the lines between science and spirituality. His unique background allows him to question the limitations of scientific materialism, citing historical perspectives from the Greeks and key figures like Galileo. For those struggling to find time for meditation, Dr. Dixey has a practical solution. His book "Three Minutes a Day" offers a condensed yet effective approach to meditation, perfect for today's fast-paced lifestyle. He underscores that the ultimate guide in meditation is one's experience, not just third-party scientific validation. The program provides 14 different exercises that gradually build up your focus and self-awareness, aiming to move you from a state of brittle, adverted attention to engaged attention. Dr. Dixey outlines the concept of "six gates" through which we experience the world—our five senses plus the mind—and how we can channel our focus through them one at a time. Dr. Dixey seeks to democratize meditation, breaking down barriers that might deter people from practicing it. His "three-minute" format serves as both an introduction and a foundation, hoping to lead practitioners to longer sessions eventually. He insists that achieving a balance between technological advancements and personal growth is not just a desire but a pressing need, for the sake of both individual well-being and collective wisdom.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Meditation is a path to genuine freedom. You can be as rich as you like. You can have as many cars and boats and watches and girlfriends and all the rest of it as you like. But if you are just reactive, you are not free. In fact, a beggar on a street corner might be freer than you. And freedom is what we all want. We want that feeling of, man, I am in control of my life. That's what meditation can offer.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Jim Sheils is not just your average entrepreneur; alongside his wife Jamie, this dynamic duo has embarked on a mission to help busy professionals find deeper, richer connections with their families. Rewind to episode 206, and you'll remember their heartfelt insights. But today, they're back to delve even deeper. Being successful real estate investors, Jim and Jamie weren't unfamiliar with the demands of a busy life. Yet, it's their Wall Street Journal bestselling book, "The Family Board Meeting," and their commitment to the "18 Summers" entrepreneur family organization, that showcases their unique expertise. What drove them to pen "The Family Board Meeting"? It's the realization that while professionals are often armed with resources for business success, the toolkit for familial success is often sparse. Enter rhythms. Not habits, mind you, but rhythms—a term that resonates with intentionality and harmony. These rhythms aren't just fluff; they're the heartbeat of lasting familial bonds. One such rhythm is the "Date Night with a Question." A time carved out weekly for couples to escape the mundane and rediscover each other. Then there's the titular "Family Board Meeting Strategy," a transformative routine ensuring individual bonding time with each child. Imagine a world where parents dedicate a half-day every quarter to understanding their child's evolving world, from princess parties to fishing trips. Jim's own tales shed light on the undeniable impact of such dedicated time. And let's not forget the "Family Adventure," where memories are forged in the crucible of fun and collaboration. However, starting with these rhythms isn't about overhauling your life overnight. It's about introducing simplicity, starting perhaps with just two or three rhythms. Commit to these pockets of time, and you'll witness harmony weaving its way into your home. Above all, it's the profound conversations, the open-ended questions on date nights, that pull couples away from the brink of ambivalence and towards the warm embrace of understanding. In a world constantly pulling us in a myriad of directions, Jim and Jamie's message is clear: Your family deserves intentional time. And with rhythms, that's possible.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Remember: There is no perfect family. If you're aiming for perfection, you're probably setting yourself up for the impossible. You're putting a lot of pressure on your spouse and your kids. It's not about perfection, it's about bridging our imperfection.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

From the ruthless arena of mixed martial arts to mission homes aiding the homeless, Tom Murphy, former contender from Spike TV's Ultimate Fighter Season 2, has seen it all. His wrestling days in upstate New York, subsequent MMA training in Montreal, and the platform of TV stardom paved his path to "Sweethearts and Heroes," where he's been addressing youth about leadership, goal-setting, and motivation. But Murphy isn't alone in this mission. Alongside him is Rick Yarosh, a retired US Army Sergeant, whose life changed dramatically in combat when he lost limbs and suffered burns over 60% of his body. From sports and outdoor activities as a child to the devastating injuries in 2004, Rick's story is a testament to resilience and reevaluating life's purpose. Embracing public speaking, he zeroes in on hope and its transformative power. Both found a shared purpose in "Sweethearts and Heroes," reaching over 2 million students, highlighting the often overlooked historical connotation of "bully" as "sweetheart." They illuminate the role of "16th-century bullies," or the sweethearts, pivotal in pushing through tough times. Their approach? Teach empathy as a muscle, which, when flexed, builds a more compassionate world. With actionable drills and a mission to empower student-led intervention, they target the silent witnesses of bullying and instill belief in better tomorrows. Their upcoming project, the "Hope Classroom," launching end of the month, is set to be a trove of resources designed for students, educators, and parents alike. Their message? "Hold On, Possibilities Exist."   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway Rick: “You all have the opportunity, the possibility, to change and save lives and you may not believe that. You can tell me that you won't give hope to other people. I will buy that, you cannot tell me that you can't give hope to other people. You just have to recognize what you're capable of and then when you recognize what you're capable of and you give that hope to other people you receive the reward that it comes from giving that hope to others. That feeling that you get that is contagious and you'll want to keep giving it over and over and over again.” Tom: “Nothing changes in this world unless we actually make a sacrifice, and I think everyone's calling is different. I think the biggest piece of advice I could give would be to listen more. I don't think we do enough of that. I think it takes a tremendous amount of courage to stand up and act and to help people that are different than you and me. You have to be extremely brave. When I think of the word brave, I think about courageous endurance. I think it takes a lot of practice to become brave and to sit and listen to people. That's a really, really hard thing to do. But I do know if you look at the science of empathy, that's how it begins. It's a three-step process and perspective taking, listening to people, and putting yourself in their shoes is the beginning of the growth of empathy in humans. And the only reason we are where we are today is because of empathy. It's allowed us to get along and to share resources and to cooperate. And our world needs it more and more.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

In this very special episode of The Daily Helping, we sit down with Billy Bean, the former major league baseball outfielder who played six exciting seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the San Diego Padres. Now serving as Vice President and Special Assistant to the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, Billy's roles extend beyond the field as an advisor on LGBTQ and mental health and wellness issues. His memoir, "Going the Other Way," encapsulates his journey as a gay man in professional baseball. Billy's story begins in Southern California, where he was raised in a strict Catholic household and discovered his talent for sports at a young age. His rise to major league baseball was meteoric, but it was not without personal struggles. Coming to terms with his sexual orientation and the fear of public exposure weighed heavily on Billy, leading to challenges in his personal life and on the field. The loss of his partner, Sam, to HIV, and the fear of facing rejection from his father further affected his performance. Starting a new chapter, Billy moved to Miami after the '95 season, where he found companionship in his Jack Russell Terrier, Paco. The ensuing years were a period of personal discovery and growth, as Billy learned to embrace diversity and support his community. Coming out as gay brought its own set of challenges, but with the acceptance and love of his family, he found peace. Billy also shares his journey back to baseball, but in a new and pivotal role overseeing all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) efforts for the sport. His perspective on self-confidence, self-esteem, and trust, combined with his genuine love and inclusivity, has allowed him to make a significant impact on the game. Billy Bean's story is not only a tale of a remarkable career but also a deep exploration of personal transformation, acceptance, and the significance of his journey in his current role in baseball.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “We're living in a time of it's very, very difficult to feel self-confident and have self-esteem. And, you know, if you are a person that has purpose, loves what they do, is kind to others, you're going to find your voice and you're gonna be happy. It just takes a minute.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

In this episode of The Daily Helping, we're honored to welcome Ariel Garten, co-founder of Muse, a leading player in the field of consumer neurotechnology and meditation. With her remarkable background blending neuroscience, psychotherapy, and art, Ariel has found a unique way to bridge the gap between technology and mindfulness. As well as providing an innovative aid to meditation, Ariel delves into the nuanced difference between a meditative state and a flow state. She describes meditation as observing one's mind and body to learn about our physiology and thoughts and then shifting them. A flow state, on the other hand, is marked by high creativity, engagement, and a sense of passionate oneness with the task at hand. The work of Muse doesn't stop at meditation and sleep. They're currently working on a project for women experiencing menopause and have conducted various studies with Mayo Clinic, demonstrating positive impacts across numerous applications. The company is also expanding to address specific user issues like pain and sleep difficulties. Ariel's vision for her work's legacy is a world where individuals have the power to escape the "prisons of their own minds." She encourages listeners to harness the power of meditation and change the conversation in their heads, leading to reduced stress levels and improved quality of life.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “You are a capable, powerful human being, and nothing that your mind is telling you should take you away from that. By engaging a simple practice like meditation, you can learn to shift your relationship with your thoughts and be the person that you really are and feel the person that you really are and accomplish all that you actually can.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Our special guest today is Clara Capano, a prominent international speaker, best-selling author, and the Chief Harmony Officer of Capano Speaking and Training. Clara is a multi-faceted personality and juggles multiple roles with enthusiasm, including being the host of the Working Woman's Channel and Living Real TV. Clara's latest book, "The Mother of All Success Manuals: How to Control Your Days, Lose the Guilt, and Find Harmony between Work and Life,” was designed with working moms in mind. The book is a mirror reflecting Clara's personal journey of achieving the delicate balance between motherhood and professional life. At the age of 37, Clara experienced a professional burnout that served as the catalyst for the creation of the strategies discussed in her book. A pivotal moment in Clara's life was when her young son accused her of not being attentive to him. This incident sparked a moment of introspection and realization, causing her to reevaluate her life choices. The cornerstone of Clara's work is her Clarity Success Method. This unique model follows a mnemonic based on her name, each letter signifying a vital business strategy to enhance productivity while maintaining work-life harmony: C - Clarity of their vision L - Leveraging time A - Action on the vital few things R - Rest and reflection A - Articulating value T - Tracking and measuring Y - Celebrate the wins regularly Clara firmly believes that self-care is not selfish, but a necessity to deliver value to others. She stresses the need to find joy in everyday life and dedicate at least 15 minutes each day to it. Clara's joyful moments range from practicing gratitude, having a morning cup of coffee, sneaking a midday nap, to scrolling through TikTok. Clara emphasizes that we can't – and shouldn't – try to do it all. She urges everyone to simplify, delegate purposefully, and focus on staying in their zone of genius.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Get clear on defining what you want your life to look like. Get clear on what does success mean to you. Own it. Your why is your why. Use that vision to drive you, to allow you to stay connected, and to be that rocket fuel inside your soul that lights you up every day.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Our guest for today's episode is Mark J. Silverman, a successful tech industry figure, bestselling author, coach, and speaker who has transformed $90 million ideas into tech startup triumphs. He also hosts an insightful podcast, Mastering Overwhelm: How to Thrive in Business, Relationships and Life. In 1989, Mark's life was anything but successful. Homeless and grappling with issues related to drugs, alcohol, and sex, he found himself living in his truck. After being lent a lifeline by his brother — on condition of attending AA and NA, enrolling in community college, and hitting the gym — Mark made the brave choice to leave his old life behind. Mark's internal transformation led him from homelessness to becoming a college graduate, discovering a talent for sales, and earning a millionaire status. Despite external success, however, his internal self-image remained at odds, colored by unaddressed trauma. Amid panic attacks, health issues, and a failing marriage, Mark found himself fearing death in a one-bedroom apartment. It was then he made the firm decision to leave a legacy for his children. Motivated by this goal, Mark set out to run the Marine Corps Marathon, make a million dollars for his ex-wife and children, and donate $60,000 to charity. He leaned heavily on meditation, journaling, and reading numerous self-help and spiritual books, one of which — "Relax Into Wealth" by Alan Cohen — became a guiding light in his journey towards realizing his self-worth. Despite being diagnosed with severe ADD, Mark found a way to thrive. Drawing from his struggles, he wrote a best-selling book, "Only Tens 2.0", offering a fresh perspective on confronting overwhelming to-do lists and transforming lives. It became an unexpected hit, striking a chord with others facing similar struggles. A key part of Mark's strategy is understanding that we are not victims. We have choices. This perspective shift allowed him to view tasks differently, identifying the rewards sought, or the consequences avoided. He introduced the concept of '10s', tasks that are absolutely essential, further streamlining productivity.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “The most important thing that I want anybody to know is that they're loved, they're lovable, they are good just the way they are. And that the constant hamster wheel of trying to be enough is just not... it's not real. It's not worth it. I'm 60 years old, right? So I talk to a lot of 30 and 40 year olds. And in hindsight, the cliche of what's really important, your relationships, your health, your well-being, and enjoying life. Like I have two adult sons. You're alive. Please enjoy. Please.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

In this episode of The Daily Helping, we welcome the extraordinary Asante Cleveland, a former NFL tight end known for his tenure with the 49ers, Patriots, and Chargers. Asante now steps into the spotlight for a different reason: to share his deeply personal journey, as chronicled in his recent book, "Walking Through the Dark." Despite Asante's triumphant sports career, he had to navigate a challenging upbringing to get there—an upbringing marred by an abusive household. He details his father's intervention, a former NFL player himself, and the life-changing assistance of his friend's mother. In this powerful recounting, Asante discusses his shift from a volatile home to a stable environment under his father's guidance, where his passion for sports truly blossomed. From soccer to basketball to football—his ultimate path—Asante's athletic career began to take shape somewhat unexpectedly when he received an offer to play football in high school. His story continued at the University of Miami, setting the stage for his future NFL career. The undercurrent of this conversation is resilience. Throughout his story, Asante unpacks the deeply ingrained effects of his childhood abuse, a trauma that remained present even as he made significant strides on the football field. The release of "Walking Through the Dark" during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns resonated with those facing their own adversity and hardship, particularly those in abusive situations. Asante's intention with the book is clear: to inspire those in similar situations, illuminate the power of resilience, and encourage forgiveness. Through introspection and self-discovery, Asante found his true calling: aiding athletes, particularly during their transition periods. Leveraging his own experiences and his platform, he seeks to promote mental health and personal understanding within the athletic community. He plans to write more books focusing on mental health challenges that athletes face during transitions, to continue aiding young athletes, and to use his unique voice to advocate for resilience and recovery from trauma. Asante's journey highlights the therapeutic power of sharing our stories and confronting the past.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Do your best. That is the most important thing that I've learned. When I was a kid playing basketball, this kid kicked my butt up and down the court. It was bizarre to me because I was a good soccer player and this was my first time playing basketball. So I figured since I'm good at soccer, of course I'm good at basketball too. And I was humbled. On the ride home, as I'm pouting in the car, my dad stops at this high school that has these outdoor basketball courts near our house. He stops the car and says, ‘Asante, I'm gonna walk down to that far baseline. And when I turn around, if you're not standing at the free throw line, I'm just gonna walk back to the car and we'll never talk about it again. But if you wanna be great, you will meet me at the free throw line.' So he gets out and just walks. I eventually follow him. But once we finally meet, he gives me a big hug and says, ‘That kid wasn't better than you, but he has put in more work than you have.' So whatever you wanna be great at, it takes work. It's not just gonna happen. You have to be committed and dedicated to it.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Marvina Case is the dynamic founder and CEO of Set-Aside Queen, a company that has spent over two decades overseeing more than $200 billion in US federal contracts. Marvina's clientele includes prominent entities like Dell, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, the Department of Defense, NASA, and even the Office of the President. Born under extraordinary circumstances – quite literally in a hospital toilet – Marvina saw her unconventional birth as a stepping stone to better things, encouraging her to embrace life's silver linings and persistently strive upwards. Her life took a sudden turn when, at the tender age of 16, she was shot in her hometown of Gary, Indiana. This incident served as a wake-up call, pushing her to pursue education and a safer life. Despite being an academic achiever, Marvina had to lean on her GED and basketball skills to earn a spot at Purdue University due to her low senior year attendance. At a towering 6'7", she was set to be the university's starting center until fate intervened. En route back from visiting her sister, Marvina was caught in a severe accident, sandwiched between two semi-trucks. She sustained third-degree burns and a disfigured nose, but remarkably, the accident also led to the discovery of a potentially fatal brain tumor. Though she was told she'd never walk again, Marvina defied the odds, recovering in six months thanks to intense physical therapy, although she had to give up her basketball career. Marvina's desire to harness technology for the greater good laid the groundwork for Set-Aside Queen. Unhappy with the insufficient humanitarian efforts of larger corporations, she created her enterprise to ensure fair business practices and opportunities for everyone, particularly those often overlooked. Set-Aside Queen operates on a 'set-aside' system, a method to channel federal funds to aid marginalized groups. Set-Aside Queen's business model allows its clients to retain 99% of their earnings, with the remaining 1% donated to an approved charity in their name - a charity that spends at least 85% of its funds on direct assistance, rather than administrative costs. Marvina's story is one of overcoming personal and professional hardships, including being multi-ethnic, female, over six feet tall, legally blind, and having a challenging birthplace. She firmly believes in everyone's potential to attain success and uses her platform to help others realize their capacity.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “God made you perfect.

In this episode of The Daily Helping, we welcome a titan of entrepreneurship, Jeremy Delk. From a humble background in Bardstown, Kentucky to the helm of a multi-industry empire, Jeremy's journey is marked by resilience, ingenuity, and a relentless drive to innovate. As the brains behind Stellic Enterprises, Jeremy Delk's diverse portfolio reaches across sectors such as biotech, healthcare, consumer brands, technology, building materials, and real estate development. His disruptive approach to business and creation of high-paying jobs has solidified his place among the most successful entrepreneurs. Jeremy takes us through his intriguing origin story, which begins with a heart-rending loss and an inheritance of $30,000. Self-teaching about stock trading, he impressively turned this modest sum into $2 million, only to see it evaporate with the dot-com bubble burst. Undeterred by this setback, he leveraged his financial prowess to earn a position as a stock broker at Fidelity Investments—a testament to his unwavering resilience. In his enlightening book, "Without a Plan," Jeremy intertwines memoir with entrepreneurial insight, crafting a narrative that inspires budding business owners to leap into their dreams, undeterred by the specter of failure. In fact, Jeremy views failure as nothing more than a stepping stone toward greater success. His personal stories of financial loss and triumphant rebound serve as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Throughout the episode, Jeremy dismantles the rose-colored perception of entrepreneurship, exposing the grit and tenacity required to overcome its inherent challenges. Drawing from his time at Fidelity Investments, Jeremy notes the pitfalls of corporatism, highlighting how creative disruption often collides with the corporate pursuit of maintaining the status quo. As Jeremy shares his insights on the journey of entrepreneurship, one thing becomes clear: fear and complacency are the real enemies of success. As long as you're continually learning and focused on the problems that you're passionate about solving, you're on the right path. Jeremy's advice is clear: Don't fear failure, and never stop moving forward.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Just get started. Just get started in whatever it is. If you got a full-time job and you want to be an entrepreneur, just get started. It doesn't mean you need to resign and mortgage your house and go all in on something. But build a website, do a focus group on Facebook, just do something for yourself and set this little pass-fail ratio. Like, "Hey, I'm going to go and spend $1,000 on this. I'm going to spend $2,000 on my idea." And then get there, and then predetermine what failure and success looks like. If, "Hey, I get 100 people that like it, then maybe I go and spend $2,000 here." But just get started. Life's too short, man, and tomorrow isn't promised. “   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

In today's episode, we are privileged to host not one but two expert guests: Liz Dunning and Kris Brown, two strong advocates for gun safety and control in America. Liz Dunning is the current Vice President of Development at Team Brady. She has devoted her 20-year career to public education policy, philanthropic sectors, and nonprofit management strategy. In addition to her impressive professional career, Liz is also a survivor of gun violence, an experience that has deeply influenced her work at Brady. In 2003, her mother was tragically murdered, an event which eventually spurred her commitment to Brady. Liz's resilience is inspiring - her courage has even propelled her to run a marathon in honor of her mother, raising nearly $30,000 for the cause. Joining Liz, we have Kris Brown, the accomplished President of Brady. Known for her lifelong background in policy law and grassroots activism, Kris has been a guiding light in the fight for Common Ground. A noted speaker and media commentator, Kris' influential work on gun violence was featured in Time Magazine's November 2018 cover article, "Guns in America." She's dedicated to advancing the conversation on gun violence beyond the usual polarizing politics, advocating for understanding and effective action. The organization they represent, Brady, was formerly known as the Brady Foundation. Its namesake, Jim and Sarah Brady, championed for the Brady Law after Jim, Ronald Reagan's press secretary, was injured during an assassination attempt on the President. This law mandated background checks for all federally licensed firearm sales, though Kris and Liz will delve into the current gaps in the system. In our conversation, we also discuss Brady's "End Family Fire" campaign and the impactful Ask campaign. Through these initiatives, Brady has been influencing gun owners and the general public to safely store firearms, drastically reducing the risk of accidental injuries or death, especially among children. The results of these campaigns are promising, indicating a significant increase in safety awareness and behavioral change regarding firearm storage. Today, we aren't talking about abolishing the Second Amendment, but rather advocating for a historically accurate understanding of it, coupled with public safety measures to prevent unnecessary deaths from gun violence. We invite you to listen, learn, and join the conversation. Together, we can make a difference.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Everyone has a sphere of influence in their life. Some people really love going and sitting in a hearing room and wearing the shirt and holding elected officials to account. We love when people love that. But it's okay if you don't. You can also get involved in the gun violence prevention movement with Brady by making calls, by sending emails. If you have five minutes in your day, you can make a difference.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Today's expert guest is renowned psychic medium and author, Bill Philipps. Known for his inspiring works, including "Expect the Unexpected: Bringing Peace, Healing, and Hope from the Other Side" and his latest empowering journey, "Soul Searching, Tune in to Spirit and Awaken Your Inner Wisdom." Philipps' lifelong journey revolves around helping those grieving over their lost loved ones. With his psychic abilities, he offers comforting messages from the spirit realm, bridging the gap between this world and the next. He is recognized for his individual and group readings and has made a significant impact through appearances on high-profile platforms like Dr. Phil and Access Hollywood. Philipps takes us back to his childhood, unraveling the moment when a traumatic event unlocked his psychic capabilities more vividly. It started with ethereal encounters at the tender age of four, seeing disembodied faces and eyes—glimpses of a realm unseen. Despite his early experiences, it took a profound experience in a metaphysical bookshop, connecting with a spirit who had tragically passed, for Philipps to fully embrace his gifts. Navigating through societal pressures and personal challenges as a teenager, he faced struggles many can relate to, especially those touched by psychic experiences early on. "Soul Searching," Philipps' latest work, emerged during the global pandemic's fearful height, serving as a beacon to uplift spirits, broaden personal awareness, and guide readers towards a stronger spiritual connection. In it, Philipps shares practical strategies for finding inner calm amidst worldly turmoil, underlining the necessity of spiritual hygiene for emotional and mental wellness. Philipps leaves us with a powerful takeaway: the spiritual world resides within us. He suggests that through changing the language we use with ourselves, and living with intention, we can profoundly influence our environment and rekindle our innate way of connecting. We each can work towards understanding our own energy, redirecting thoughts for goal attainment, and recognizing the value of spiritual hygiene through daily intention resets and meditation.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Gratitude is, I believe, the biggest helping because gratitude is something that we're all capable of doing. We have to do it throughout our day when we say thank you for something. It might be going to the grocery store and thinking the clerk who helped us. But when we take that power back into our own hands, and we give it out to the universe, give it out to God, to Spirit, it automatically changes our perception and it automatically takes us out of more of this rational, fear-based way of thinking. It pulls our awareness and allows us to be more unlimited with our thinking and with our belief system. So, and it's free and anybody can do it and it's simple. So, I would say if you can just spend a couple moments a day of just focusing on your thank yous, there's a lot of potential for your life to be changed as a result of just that.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Meet Angie Morgan Witkowski, a bestselling author, seasoned business coach, and multi-time entrepreneur with an impressive journey spanning from a small rural community in northern Michigan to the Marine Corps and into the heart of the entrepreneurial scene. Her experiences in the Marines and later with Pfizer in Beverly Hills inspired her to co-found Lead Star, a successful coaching and consulting business, and pen her game-changing book, "Bet On You," a manifesto for embracing calculated risks. Angie's new venture into podcasting continues to share her insightful lessons and inspiration. Her discussions revolve around the importance of immediate action, despite current circumstances, and the benefits of testing potential paths before committing fully to them. Chris Kermitsos's "Start Ugly" concept complements this ethos, advocating for proactive steps towards goals without waiting for a "perfect moment." Angie encourages people to face their fears and focus on the potential positives rather than the negatives. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is highlighted as a powerful tool for mitigating irrational fears. Above all, Angie stresses the importance of enjoying the journey, aligning personal pursuits with passions, and taking a balanced approach to life. Her discussions underscore the idea that, when viewed from a wider perspective, taking a calculated risk may indeed be the safest choice one could make.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “I would love people to think about the dreams that they have for themselves, these grand visions, and the times that you look outside of yourself and see all the cool things that other people are doing, and just really ask yourself, why not you? Why can't you do that? If other people are doing it and they're showing you it can be done, why not you? It's not that they have privilege, it's not that they have access to more capital, maybe they do, but that's not the reason that's holding you back. Your fears, your worries, your concerns, your self-doubts, those are probably bigger barriers than any other barrier out there. So just really ask yourself: Why not you?”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

In this Athletes Voice series on The Daily Helping Podcast, listen in on an inspiring conversation with the visionary Odessa Jenkins. A Hall of Fame running back, two-time national champion, USA football team captain, and two-time gold medalist, Jenkins wears many hats, including that of the founder and CEO of the Women's National Football Conference (WNFC). Raised in South Central LA, Jenkins was always drawn to sports, with football leading her to become the first in her family to graduate college. She's transforming the landscape of women's football, by challenging the limited visibility and access traditionally afforded to women in this sport, through her trailblazing work with the WNFC. In addition to sharing her personal journey, Jenkins offers insightful advice on creating change and standing up for what you believe in. Her tireless advocacy work through the Got Her Back charity, supporting girls who play on boys' teams, serves as a testament to her relentless pursuit of leveling the playing field.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Do the impossible, do the possible, just do it. Start now. Don't wait until it's over to appreciate your legacy and to appreciate what you're trying to change. 'Cause sometimes trying is enough. Trying can change the whole world. So don't wait till the battle's over. Shout now, 'cause in the end, you're gonna win.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Daily Helping podcast. Today, we're joined by Eli "The Travel Guy" Facenda, an entrepreneur who has turned his love for travel into a thriving business. Eli is the founder of Freedom Travel Systems, a company that assists travel enthusiasts in maximizing luxury travel on points, eliminating the headaches of trying to figure it out on your own. Eli's travel journey began with an international trip to the Dominican Republic that sparked his curiosity and interest. He then embarked on a career path that saw him start an international sports tour company and discover the power of maximizing credit card points. In today's episode, Eli demystifies the concept of "travel hacking." He shares how he leverages credit card points, airline miles, and hotel points to enjoy around $100,000 worth of luxury travel a year, visiting over 40 countries in just five years. Eli draws on his wealth of experience to provide valuable tips for boosting credit scores and understanding the complex ecosystem of banks, airlines, and credit card companies. Finally, Eli leaves us with some wise words on the transformative power of travel and the strategic use of the credit card and banking system to make it all possible. So, whether you're a seasoned traveler or just starting to explore the world, this episode is sure to inspire your next adventure.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Travel really has the ability and the power, if done right, to be a massive tool for transformation in your life. Because what it will do, if you really go in with the right perspective, is it will remove you from your everyday activities, all of these environmental triggers where you kind of normally have the same feedback loop and routine. It's almost like you become sleeping awake if you live in the same routine for so long. It pulls you completely out of that, puts you into a new environment. And what that does is it allows you to have a totally different perspective on your life, your business, your job, your family, relationships, whatever it is, and you can come back with such a fresh energy and fresh outlook on life. That's why I'm a huge proponent of just travel as a whole. And I think that if you want to travel for those benefits, for personal enjoyment, or for the experience, there's a way that you can tap into this amazing credit card and banking system specifically here in the US to be able to do it in way better style, get way more of it and do it completely for free or at the most, maybe 5% of what the retail cost would be. I think people should be traveling more, but I don't think should be paying more for it. I think she should be getting it for free.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Jake Kauffman, a life coach, international best-selling author, and inspiring spiritual mentor, is our esteemed guest in this episode of The Daily Helping podcast. Jake's life mission has revolved around guiding individuals to lead purpose-driven lives and aiding entrepreneurs in personal growth and leadership, with a keen focus on helping men heal and transform to reach their full potential. In our discussion, Jake pulls back the curtain on his personal journey of triumph over physical and sexual abuse he experienced during his early years. His journey through the darkness began at a summer camp around the age of 12 or 13, where he suffered sexual abuse in the presence of his friends, who shockingly failed to intervene. This traumatic event led to a period where Jake hid behind metaphorical masks, striving to distract from his pain through overachievement. His pursuit of accomplishment led him to excel in both sports and academics and eventually co-found a healthcare startup in the early 2000s, which has grown into one of the largest healthcare technology SaaS companies in the U.S. Despite these external achievements, Jake battled an internal war marked by unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and anxiety, leading him to sabotage his success and resist love and intimacy. The turning point came at 29 when a heartfelt conversation with his mother, who confessed she no longer recognized him, set him on a path of self-revelation. This led him to therapy and the brave decision to confront the abuse he experienced as a child, a journey that spanned several years but resulted in profound changes both externally (financial prosperity, improved relationships) and internally (enhanced self-confidence, peace, and fulfillment). The inception of his newest book, "Let Love In," came after sharing his story on social media in 2019. The overwhelming response and connection he received led to a nervous system breakdown, which he processed through journaling. These journal entries formed the foundation of his inspirational book, designed as a guide for others who have experienced trauma, showing them how to embark on their own healing journey. Jake explains that everyone has a comfort level for what they feel safe to receive, be it love, financial abundance, or opportunities, and exceeding this threshold can lead to self-sabotage. However, working through past pain can expand this threshold, allowing more love and positivity into our lives. Addressing what's holding you back is the first step in progress, even if that means confronting past pain. Jake's approach to simplifying complex topics makes them relatable and understandable, a highlight appreciated by the host and listeners alike.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Ask yourself: If my greatest strength is a compensating strategy, what is my greatest strength for?”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

In this episode of The Daily Helping, we're joined by John Jennings, chief strategist of a $15 billion firm, as he shares invaluable insights on investing and how to improve your decision-making process. John emphasizes that the stock market is not a direct reflection of the economy and sheds light on the pitfalls of obsessing over metrics and data points. Discover why inactivity is key to successful investing, as evidenced by a study showing that single women who traded less outperformed single men, married men, and married women. Learn how an average investor can achieve similar returns to sophisticated university endowments by investing in a mix of index funds and bonds, and why discipline is crucial to sticking with this simple approach. Throughout the podcast, John shares mental models that can help investors make better decisions, such as the importance of inactivity and the idea that the stock market is not the economy. The main takeaway? There's no secret sauce to investing success. Instead, investors should focus on their own behavior and accept the inherent uncertainty in the economy and the investment world.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “There is no secret sauce. There is nobody out there that can deftly predict the future and weave in and out. It's gonna come down to your own behavior and just accepting the inherent uncertainty that exists in the economy and the investment world.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

We are joined by business leader and author, Marc Lesser, whose latest book, "Finding Clarity: The Power of a Mindful Life," delves into the importance of curiosity and mindfulness in our daily lives. Marc opens up about the significance of curiosity in both personal and professional settings and underscores the role of mindfulness and meditation in managing stress and anxiety. He touches upon our evolutionary instinct to scan for threats and how technology plays a part in triggering negative emotions. To foster curiosity without feeling overwhelmed, Marc suggests incorporating a meditation practice or engaging in other mindfulness activities such as journaling or spending time in nature. These practices can create a much-needed space in our lives, allowing us to avoid getting consumed by busyness and intensity. The conversation then turns to storytelling and the way our brains are naturally wired to create narratives. Marc offers an exercise in which individuals can journal or create a timeline of their successes and failures to gain insight into their life stories. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging both the pain and the possibilities in our lives and leaning into both for optimal growth and experience. Moreover, Marc discusses the value of listening for understanding and how it contributes to improved communication and stronger relationships. He shares an exercise where individuals practice listening without problem-solving, which can lead to enhanced connection and understanding.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Way of being is to live a very ordinary life and effective life, and at the same time realize that everything we do is also sacred. I like the word sacred. There's actually some interesting science happening now about studying the importance of having a sacred experience. And again, sacred to me I think is one way to think of it is that to rise to rise above and beyond the ordinary stories that we get caught in and to see from a much larger perspective, the sense of acceptance, joy, beauty, right in the midst of the day-to-day world of paying the bills and taking care of our children and working, bringing us to, that they're like two sides of the same coin, ordinary and the sacred.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Join us on an inspiring journey with Laura, the author of "Wonderhell," as she shares her personal experiences of embracing uncertainty and the powerful impact of surrounding herself with the right people. Laura's story begins when she made the bold decision to leave law school, taking unexpected turns that ultimately led her to write "Wonderhell," a book about living in the question and finding one's unique path. As we follow Laura's story, we learn the importance of living in a state of "doubtable" and embracing uncertain situations. By relying on resilience and adaptability, Laura discovered that uncertainty is essential for growth and being open to new experiences can lead to self-discovery and new opportunities. The tale takes a deeper turn as we discuss the significance of having the right people around us while navigating uncertainties and challenges. Although we mention the famous Jim Rohn quote about being the average of the five people you spend the most time with, we clarify that there's no direct scientific evidence to support it. Instead, we delve into the concept of mirror neurons, which scan our environment for sameness and influence us subconsciously. This neurological basis highlights the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who support and encourage our journey. Laura's story also emphasizes the idea that the people who were with us during one phase of our lives may not be the right ones to accompany us in the next. It's not about discarding people, but being intentional about the advice we seek and the voices we listen to. Through personal experiences about well-intentioned family members not fully understanding decisions and career paths, we learn that being mindful of who we seek advice from and having a supportive cheering section can make a significant difference in both our personal and professional lives.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “The only people who are visited by Wonderhell are the ones who think are worthy of it. You don't see a bigger, higher, better, different potential for you if you don't have the intelligence and the creativity and the wherewithal to get yourself there.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

With 40 years of experience in teaching genius awakening and supporting struggling students, Dr. Dimartini shares an inspiring story of a hyperactive child who found focus and engagement through a creative, interdisciplinary approach to learning. Dr. Dimartini also explores the concept of awakening to one's own immortality and its connection to the layers of the brain. By identifying personal values and taking high-priority actions, individuals can increase their self-worth and develop resilience in the face of life's challenges. Finally, Dr. Dimartini introduces his latest book, The Resilient Mind, which offers insights on managing anxiety, depression, uncertainty, and distractions. Addressing the phenomenon of "trophy case presentation" on social media, he emphasizes the importance of personal accountability and prioritization in order to live an extraordinary life.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Identify what your life truly demonstrates is most important to your life. And if you hear whispering, “I should do this,” “I ought to do this,” “I need to do this,” “I must do this,” just know that's not you. That's an outer authority whispering as a superego in your consciousness and infiltrating your mind and clouding the clarity of what you feel is important. If it brings a tear of gratitude to your eyes, you feel inspired by it, it awakens a vision inside you, you would absolutely love doing it, you feel grateful for the opportunity to do it, you're enthusiastically wanting to work on it, you're certain about it and you're present with it: That's the sign it's authenticity. I call those the six transcendentals. And taking the time to discern that state daily and mastering the art of prioritizing and really sticking to what's really truly meaningful to you because to pursue anything less than what's most important in your life is just going to devalue you. And it's going to keep you from doing something extraordinary. And you won't build incremental momentum and expand this space and time horizons to create immortal legacies. We go around and say we're immortal souls of theology, but nobody sends immortal goals hardly. So it's a contradiction. And I believe that the second you get authentic, your mind expands and you start giving yourself permission to, hey, I can do, I can make a difference on the planet.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Our guest today is Tajay "TJ" Ashmeade, a former Division One Olympic and professional basketball player. Despite a challenging youth, TJ is now a public speaker, coach, and tech entrepreneur, and she's on a mission to help athletes succeed beyond sports. TJ's journey to success was not easy. After getting involved with the wrong crowd she ended up getting shot, but that didn't change her path. It wasn't until she realized her younger brother was following in her footsteps, and once he was shot, she needed to shift her life and began to pursue sports. She was placed in special education and was called stupid, but she changed the narrative of the word STUPID to Strength, Toughness, Understanding, Persistence, Identity, and Determination. TJ's hard work and determination paid off when she became the number one rebounder in the Big East Conference. After her playing career ended, TJ had a plan and was already working on her first master's degree from the University of Phoenix. She emphasizes the importance of having a plan when transitioning from professional sports and encourages athletes to take notes from mentors, even if they are not physical people in their life. TJ's passion for helping athletes led her to create a sports technology company called Nurture SPRT. The company provides a job board for athletes, access to sports psychologists, and resources for high school athletes to find the right college for them. TJ also has a sports leadership consultancy that helps athletes directly.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Move with intention.

Reverend Michael Beckwith is the founder and CEO of Agape International Spiritual Center, a trans-denominational community in LA that teaches the science of inter-transformation unity through meditation, affirmative prayer, and life-visioning. He is a sought-after meditation teacher, conference speaker, and seminar leader on the life-visioning process. As a co-founder and president of the Association of Global New Thought, he has hosted conferences featuring operators of world peace, including his holiness the Dalai Lama, and had the distinguished honor of presenting to Nelson Mandela the Gandhi King Award. Beckwith's personal journey of spiritual awakening began in the 70s when he was a psychobiology major at USC. He describes having inner experiences that he initially labeled as pathological until a lucid dream experience led him to discover the intrinsic wholeness that we are as unique expressions of the divine. This experience compelled him to explore different paths to awakening, leading him to become a licensed spiritual practitioner and minister. Beckwith's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of spiritual practice and the importance of staying true to oneself. Beckwith provides valuable advice on how to approach healing and the power of mindset. He encourages individuals to not hold onto the prognosis of a diagnosis and instead focus on their agreement with the universe and spiritual practice. Physical healing has an emotional and mental component — that healing is a revealing of the intrinsic wholeness that we are as unique expressions of the divine. His advice offers listeners powerful tools for achieving conscious living and unlocking their true potential.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “I believe that I want people to know that they have an unlimited capacity for wellness, well-being, joy, and harmonizing prosperity, and that that is not determined by their genetic codes, not determined by what's going on in society, that they could have access to that with intention and a little bit of spiritual practice. That they're not limited in any way. They're not limited by who their parents were. They're not limited by what's going on in the world. They are unlimited beings, but they have to have a little bit of focus, a little bit of an intention, and then inertia becomes momentum and emergence takes place.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

We have a brilliant and incredible guest to share with you today. His name is Leo Treadwell. And he's the founder of I Am the Matrix and inventor of the revolutionary mind-hacking technology, Autobiographical Feedback. After a challenging upbringing, feeling like he didn't belong in his family and always trying to please others, Leo turned to rebellion and a life of crime to gain attention, which eventually led to his arrest for stealing an airplane. Despite achieving success in his career, Leo discovered a tumor in his back that he realized was caused by his inability to connect with others in a meaningful way. Before he took his life on another dark turn, a friend urged him to address his deeper issues and explore spirituality. This led him to a vision quest and a near-death experience, ultimately realizing he was a good person who didn't need to constantly achieve to be fulfilled and that love was always available to him. Autobiographical feedback is like writing a story about your life, but instead of writing about your past, you write about your future. This helps you think about who you want to be and what you want to achieve. Sometimes, we get stuck repeating the same things over and over again because of our past experiences. To break out of this cycle, we need to imagine a new story for our future. This helps us focus on what we want to achieve instead of just repeating the same patterns from our past. -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

In this episode continuing our Athlete's Voice series, we welcome Marcus Allen. He's a former athlete turned charismatic public servant dedicated to making the world a better place. With over 20 years of experience as a CEO, Marcus has been a visionary leader in improving the lives of those in need. He's a sought-after speaker, known for his passion, and has even been inducted into a college sports hall of fame. Marcus had a short NBA career, but he never took his success for granted. Even during his playing days, he kept his feet on solid ground and avoided getting caught up in the fame. When he retired, he experienced a void and went through a period of depression, searching for something that would fulfill him. Eventually, he found his passion in helping young people through mentorship programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters, which he has been the CEO of for nearly 20 years. By connecting them with caring, compassionate adults, he helps kids discover their own purpose and gives them the support to achieve it.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “None of us are perfect. We live in a world that we're so quick to cancel folks or to criticize. It's so easy to write people off for the smallest of things. Our young people need people to believe in them in spite of. We have to give them grace, the same grace that was given to us. If it came to light our worst day, if it came to light to the whole world, we would be embarrassed. And a lot of people wouldn't mess with us because they saw something that we did in our past. And I'm asking, I'm hoping that we don't let ourselves shrink to the least of ourselves, meaning it's so easy to criticize folks and to disown them and try to bring people down. I want people to build people up. Let's think about how we are redemptive, that all of us deserve the second chance and some of us deserve a third, fourth, and fifth chance. And I think that is something that I hope resonates with people because otherwise, I don't know how we are going to get ourselves out of these challenges that we're facing today.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Dr. Srikumar Rao is a sought-after coach for entrepreneurs, professionals, and senior executives. He works with a select group of highly successful individuals to help them have an even greater impact on the world. With millions of views on his TED Talk and workshops attended globally, his mission is to improve people's lives in an exponential way. Dr. Rao received his PhD from Columbia Business School and started his career in corporate America, where he had some success and became the head of corporate research for a communications company. He later became burnt out by corporate politics and moved to academia, where he felt stuck. Channeling his passion for reading spiritual and mystical works, he decided to adapt the teachings of the world's great masters, stripping them of religious and cultural connotations, and created a course that spread organically and was written about in major business publications. He now coaches entrepreneurs who are successful and have a spiritual quest. He specializes in telling his clients that their business success is their spiritual path. Dr. Srikumar reads widely in various wisdom traditions and focuses on the essence of their teachings, which all point to the idea that problems stem from one's mental chatter. He believes that an individual's thoughts drive them away from their true self and that recognizing this can lead to significant improvements in their life.Dr. Srikumar emphasizes that becoming aware of and detaching from one's mental chatter is a lifelong commitment. However, the individual can expect to see significant improvement in their life experience in just a matter of weeks if they consciously practice watching their mind. Mental chatter is not a problem in itself, but it becomes problematic when an individual identifies with it. This identification is a habit that is developed through repeated exposure, but it can be broken by observing mental chatter instead of becoming it. The starting exercise in all of Dr. Srikumar's programs is for the individual to observe their chatter and label their emotions as they arise. With continued practice, it will become easier for the individual to remain a witness to their emotions instead of being controlled by them, leading to a place of calm from which they can make decisions without being influenced by passing emotions. Though it may not be easy, the process is achievable.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “You do not live in a real world. You think you live in a real world, but you don't — you live in a construct. You created it with your mental chatter and your mental models. It's like we're all living in the matrix, but this is not a matrix created by an alien civilization out to enslave us. It's a matrix that we created with our mental model and our mental chatter. And having created it, we experience it exactly as we have created it. This is actually a highly liberating notion because if you live in a real world and you don't like it, you're screwed — grin and bear it. But if you don't like it and you're living in a construct, you can deconstruct the parts of it that are not working for you and build it up again. And you can do this over and over again, it's a rest of your life process. That's hugely liberating.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Welcome to another episode in our Athlete's Voice series, where today we get to learn from Dillon Shije. Dillon is a professional runner and CEO of The Native Runner, providing motivational speaking, workshops, training, and community wellness. He is also a respected tribal councilman at Pueblo of Zia and a successful business partner at Zia Impact. He is dedicated to serving his community and promoting economic development through sustainable and responsible business practices. With a deep understanding of the unique cultural and economic issues facing Native American tribes, Dillon is a powerful advocate for his people and a valuable asset to the team at Zia Impact. Dillon Shije grew up in the Zia Pueblo Indian Reservation in New Mexico in a traditional household. He was raised with a deep understanding of his culture and participated in indigenous religious ceremonies, including daily prayers at sacred sites and cleansing himself in the river. This instilled in him a strong connection to his culture and the importance of prayer, which also translated into his passion for running as a sacred act. Through hard work and dedication, he became a successful competitive runner, despite not seeing many people who looked like him in Division 1 sports or at elite levels. His motivation to excel led him to attend college and become a student-athlete, eventually earning a spot on the University of Colorado Boulder's prestigious running team. Throughout his journey, prayer remained a foundation for him, guiding him to become a professional runner. Dillon believes that his history of running both competitively and spiritually has informed the work he does today in helping his community. He has learned valuable lessons of resiliency and perseverance, and uses this experience to balance the need to push for resources and progress with the need to rest and not burn out. He also recognizes the importance of being strategic in advocating for marginalized communities, as being too passionate can sometimes lead to doors being closed. He therefore works to maintain his voice in high-level spaces while not over-exaggerating his passion.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Wherever you may reside, reach out to some of the tribal nations, learn about the tribes that are in your area, and help them with resources. We all need guidance, especially our tribal nations who don't have as much capacity. I think that's a good way to create that positive dialogue and learn about where people are living who have been there for hundreds of years, thousands of years.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

She is passionate about helping people design the lives they love through her work. She has been a design educator at institutions such as MIT, Parsons, and the Pratt Institute. She is also a sought-after speaker for conferences and events. Ayse's mission is to “empower people to create meaningful lives and meaningful products through the power of design.” People today are living longer and healthier lives than ever before, but when we think of aging and the span of our lives, we rarely think of those older years and what we want our lives to look like. Ayse Birsel wrote "Design the Long Life You Love" to encourage people to reframe their approach to problems in life and to inspire individuals and businesses to embrace the opportunities of aging. Through her year-long research, she found that older people were thrilled to be alive and wanted to share this enthusiasm with the world. By writing this book, she hopes to spread awareness of the advantages of aging and to provide a step-by-step process for people to design their own lives.Ayse Birsel's advice for designing a life you love is to start by giving yourself permission to do so. She emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and creating a life that is based on your values and that looks and feels like you. Birsel then suggests deconstructing your life and breaking it into its parts and pieces in order to get clarity on what matters to you and to understand the connections that you assume are between things. Finally, she encourages people to not attempt to put their lives back together the same way it was before but to instead create something new.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Think of a hero of yours, somebody who inspires you. This could be somebody you know, family or friends, or somebody you know of. What qualities of theirs do you admire? Those are your values. This is what you design with. This is how you make choices.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Steven Washington is an author and former professional dancer. After performing on Broadway in The Lion King, he found a new passion in the form of Chigong and Pilates and has since become a highly acclaimed teacher in both disciplines. His book, Recovering You: Soul Care and Mindful Movement for Overcoming Addiction, is the result of his love of movement and his dedication to helping others. Steven enjoys a life of joyful recovery and is passionate about helping others heal and grow. He hosts a monthly Heart/Mind Moments YouTube series, which has been viewed by over a million people. His videos focus on physical, emotional, and spiritual health and are designed to inspire, motivate, and bring joy to viewers.Washington's journey began at age 15 when he had his first drink, which made him feel suddenly okay in the world. He chased this feeling for 20 years until it no longer worked and he had reached rock bottom. It was then that a friend in recovery showed him the way to sobriety. After many years of drinking and doing drugs, Washington eventually made his way to Broadway to perform in the Lion King, which he had seen as a kid and envisioned himself in. In 2014, Washington was introduced to Chigong and found it was a great tool to help manage his recovery and life in general. This led him to create an online course and eventually write a book, Recovering You. Washington's book details the use of Chigong and other practices such as journaling, compassionate inquiry, and building a social support network to help with recovery. All of these tools combined tend to the health and well-being of the body, mind, and spirit. Steven's advice is to practice self-care as an important foundation for addiction recovery. He suggests taking time to connect with the breath, practicing self-massage, meditating, and doing breath prayers. Breath prayers involve combining physical breathing with intention, such as breathing in peace and breathing out fear, worry, and anxiety. Doing this for five minutes can help shift the mind and create faith, optimism, and peace. The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “I would love for people to know that they're not alone. That no matter what their challenges are, there are people that understand them and care for them and love them just as they are in this moment that feels very imperfect and very challenging.

Satyen Raja is known as the private transformational mentor, advisor, and confidant to the powerful and influential. He's a living synthesis of Eastern wisdom and Western practicality, combining the power of the warrior and the wisdom of the sage to inspire audiences and leaders worldwide into their highest impact and personal fulfillment. He's the leading authority on expanding success while serving the greater good without sacrificing the joys of personal life. At a young age, Satyen didn't feel connected to the paths most people walked in life. He began studying kung fu as a boy and it felt like home to him. In kung fu, students are taught the importance of balancing the warrior and the sage — the indomitable spirit and the inner wisdom within us — and how awakening both creates a heightened state. Every person has a warrior and a sage within them. To start identifying your own inner warrior and sage, ask yourself: “What must I do today to live, to love, and to die completely without regret?” Do that, and answer honestly, and you will find the direction you are looking for.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Whether we're a company, an organization, whether our organization is our own family and that's the size of our organization, or you're running a multi-billion dollar organization, multi-national organization: We're all leaders. And we're all being called to the next stage of our evolution in leadership. Let's not shirk from that responsibility. Let's tell the universe and ourselves, let's confront our fears and our smallness, and tell ourselves: I am ready for my next stage of leadership and I own it and I claim it. Come on universe, bring it on. I welcome myself to how you wish me to lead. Let's go with that spirit, that spirit of ourselves, to throw ourselves into what's next for us. And you watch how the universe will respond so beautifully.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

We're continuing our series at the Athlete's Voices event which highlights exceptional athletes doing extraordinary things in the world. Today's guest is Jen Southall, a certified hockey coach for the Portland Winterhawks and a disabled representative for the Junior Hockey Association and several other sports associations. She has more than 25 years of experience playing hockey and advocating for the accessibility of the deaf community. Playing sports as a deaf person came with its challenges. Jen was always the only deaf person on her team. She started playing at a young age, but she didn't have full access to people who could help her communicate until high school. She had to rely on her teammates to look out for her. She mostly stopped playing hockey after high school, but when her son wanted to start playing hockey — and wanted his mom to coach him — she started looking into how she could make access for that. It wasn't until she entered that world that she realized how little advocacy there is for the deaf community. The challenges the deaf community face are many, and most of them are invisible to us. Jennifer asks us to imagine a family gathering with people around the dinner table, everyone's laughing, but nobody has taken the time to share what they're laughing about. It can be very isolating. And finding environments that accommodate the deaf experience is difficult.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Respect the deaf community. Respect our language. Respect our culture. And give us the platform, not you running a platform for us, because it's not your place. Let deaf people have our place.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

We're live at the Athletes' Voice event in Atlanta, Georgia with Kawser Amine, the founder and CEO of WSPL (Women's Solidarity for Peace and Leadership). She was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan, and is a former member of the female Afghan national soccer team. She's working to change the world through soccer. Kawser dreamed and hoped for something that should have been impossible in a country like Afghanistan, and she made it happen. She started playing soccer at seven years old, and went on the national path at nine and a half years old. She wanted to change her life path from the girl who was always dreaming of something to making it a reality. Kawser went on to study political science at the University of Afghanistan and starting a women's leadership club, spreading the message that girls can get more engaged support through soccer. Soccer was so important to her personal development, and she wants to world to change so that girls realize there is room for them in the sport of soccer. Through her non-profit organization, Kawser helps girls believe in themselves — both that they can play soccer and seek an education. While all parts of the world still don't support those beliefs, Kawser believes that with enough support it will be possible.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “Never give up. Nothing is impossible in this world. Dreaming big is not your fault, but getting to your dream, turning your vision to reality, the most key words which is plain ‘never give up.'”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Today's expert guest is Natalie Ledwell, a bestselling author, host of the podcast Not Over, Just Different, co-host of the cable TV show Wake Up, and the founder of Mind Movies, a revolutionary online visualization tool reaching over 10 million people and helping them achieve their goals. The law of attraction can be incredibly divisive, but authorities have been talking about concepts like it since the 1930s. And today, there's more research than ever into the power that visualization has — whether you believe in vibrations or not. Mind Movies is a software that makes it easy to find clarity on what you want and turn that into a moving vision board, complete with music, to put you in the prime emotional state to manifest that vision into reality. But vision boards are not magical — it is a prompt for daily action. You want to describe: What it is you want What life looks like once you get it Why you want it What actions you need to add to your daily routine How you need to change your thoughts to reach this new outcome When you take all of this into account, and take steps towards achieving your vision, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “I have created and manifested some amazing stuff in my life that far exceeded anything that I thought was possible for a small-town girl from Australia. And the formula is pretty easy. If we know what we want and we're taking action, we can see ourselves and feel ourselves already being there, you have no idea what you can create. And actually, you can create anything that you want, and I'm living proof of that. And that's what I want for everybody else as well.”   -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Tim Shurr is the world's best unconscious beliefs specialist and the foremost expert in freeing people from anxiety, past trauma, PTSD, and bad habits. He's the creator of the revolutionary One Belief Away method, developed through facilitating over fifteen thousand individual hypnosis sessions and hundreds of group training experiences over the past 35 years. After his dad was involved in a devastating electrical accident leading him to have severe third-degree burns all over his body, Tim adopted a belief — unconsciously — that he was not safe in this world and that something could happen to him at any time. That shifted his behavior towards playing life on defense. It wasn't until he discovered the power of psychology that he learned how to overcome those limiting beliefs, and now he helps others do the same. We have all experienced trauma, whether it's something big like being shot at, or something less severe like being rejected when asking someone out. Regardless, these experiences force us to find meaning, and sometimes the conclusions we come to aren't helpful or true about the world we live in. So how do we fix these beliefs? Tim's One Belief Away method starts by finding a person's deepest core belief and upgrading that — from a story of “I'm not enough” to “I'm more than enough.” Then you have to work on releasing toxic emotions: the kinds of emotions that you get stuck into a cycle of.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “You are already enough. You're already good, you have nothing to prove. You're already worthy of love, happiness, prosperity, and all of the love that you want. You've just got to decide that you are worthy of that. Because we think that the world decides that for us, and truly that's not the case. We think we need it from our parents, we need it from other people in our life to tell us that we're worthy and that we're enough, and after taking thousands of people through this journey, the only one that has the real power to help you feel like you're enough, that you're worthy of whatever you want, is you. And you can decide that today, you don't have to wait around for other people to do the right thing because often they're so wounded they're not gonna. So take your power back. You don't have to wait for others to do the right thing, you do the right thing by giving yourself what you need, by loving yourself. And if it feels weird or uncomfortable or false, fake it till you become it, do it anyway, and find a way to upgrade those beliefs. And when you do that, your life will start to improve significantly.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.
